Can't sleep
Clowns will eat me. Damn clowns. Soooo, I took a kind of mental health day today. I know I was supposed to be cleaning and getting the house in order for Richard's grand arrival home tomorrow night (now today I guess). But, I really needed it. It's been a long time since I could just get lost in my music and sing along and just kind of chill. Finally Leslie coaxed me out of my little nest, and we went out to get really excellent Chinese food from Twin Dragon in Duvall. I had General Tsao's chicken with white meat, but I think next time I'll try to get them to just spice up some chicken with broccoli -- I'm not into all that sugar anymore. And oh my god, the crab rangoon was just amazing -- actually crabby and not just an excuse to eat deepfried cream cheese :)
Then we all came back here and investigated the media center and wtf is wrong with it. Adam did a bunch of stuff while we watched and nodded and smiled. Seems to be doing better -- a large part of the problem apparently is the usb keyboard we were trying to use. Ultimately we probably need to swap out the case, but it's a huge clusterfuck right now.
Tomorrow is the DOL to get my permit changed to Washington. I read the whole book from cover to cover so the test should go fine, as long as I can figure out how to get to sleep. I had some leftover chinese food, some hot minty tea, but I'm still not feeling particularly tired. I tried calling Richard but it went to VM. Hopefully he doesn't stay out too late tonight, since he has a presentation at 11am.
Funny quote of the night... Adam needed my keyboard (wireless keyboard mouse combo) because it had a PS2 connector. So I went over to my mess of a desk and I turned the keyboard on end and started tapping and shaking it against the desk. Leslie calls over and says, "What are you doing?" I said, "Well, you know how on CSI they always talk about epithelials? (pause) I'm getting rid of the epithelials"
Back to trying to get to sleep. I went upstairs at 10:30 and grabbed the DOL manual that I needed to read, finished that around midnight, and couldn't sleep.
